Sister cities of Salt, Jordan
Salt (Arabic: السلط Al-Salt — pronounced Es-Sult or Es-Salt) is an ancient agricultural town and administrative centre in west-central Jordan. It is on the old main highway leading from Amman to Al-Quds. Situated in the Balqa highland, about 790–1100 metres above sea level, the town is built in the crook of three hills, close to the Jordan River valley. One of the three hills (Jebal Al Qal'a) is the site of a 13th-century ruined fortress. It is the capital of the Balqa Governorate.
The Greater Salt Municipality has about 97,000 inhabitants (2006) of which 70% are Muslim and 30% Christians.
